Blind Pathos Poem
For lack of attention
And lack of invention
They couldn't help it
Now we can't stop it
With mustered pretention
Living in the keyhole
The pretty lies are sold
Women of appetite eat
Cannibal spawn tweet
As our credits roll
Just out of light
In the shadow of right
Men counterfeit valor
Then duck and cower
Lacking a will to fight
Fast forward life time
Wonder past its prime
Cut and paste history
To create a mystery
Of victimless crime
Remember what to say
Regurgitate yesterday
We salted the earth
And lost its worth
We lost our way
Alone in the corner
The facts adorn her
Through rise and fall
Truth awaits us all
As we learn her cure
Folly laughing loud
The trashy and proud
Can't see it there
Behind the despair
Death with its crowd

Blind Pathos Poem
There will be no secrets
Nowhere to hide
The left and right being outwitted
And little brother inside
The drones and data crawlers delve
Dreams and nightmares being ourselves
Compiled evidences mount concern
While mankind’s bridges burn
Our cyborg image never shown
Our accessories scent allured us
Hums of technology a pleasant moan
We breathed deep the aroma’s service
Bandwidth culture firmly in place
Everyman has no face
Ethnicity of avatar and clan of choice
Everyman selects a voice
The blind face themselves feeling
Something’s missing out of sight
Reaching for the cognitive ceiling
Surrendering for wrong and right
To machines constant drumming
The overfuture’s coming
Where there’s nothing left to do
And no difference from me to you

Blind Pathos Poem
If the truth was pretty
And it smelled just right…
Or it taste like a t-bone
And came in diet light…
If truth was static free
And came in easy stages…
Or in scratch n sniff colors
On large n glossy pages…
If the truth looked good
On my arm uptown…
Or sang like a bird
In a sequin gown…
But, … the fool is king, his folly law
His head is thick and fingers raw
Justice is blind and wisdom’s a pearl
Luck is a lady and Truth’s a girl
Her sister is good intentions
The procrastinating whore
Who knocks down the walls
And ignores all the doors
From her cuts I have learned
Truth is the flame, not the burn
She won’t change and she won’t bend
Way too uppity for my friends
To some, Truth is getting rich
And finding perfect mates
But Truth is just a lonely girl
Who never gets a date

Blind Pathos Poem
From my chair
Through the air
I want my info now
Truth or dare
I don’t care
Give me info now
Hip wired infolites
Something bout usage rights
Whereas my info wow
Flying flags ever knowing
Looking back never going
Here’s my info now
Meaning without content
Exists without it being sent
The contents meaning slowly dies
Contending feeds on sorefull eyes
Mercy typo pings brindle blogger
Immortal mention 2 NSA loggers
Wikimaster with google goggles
Seeks truthess acknak for boondoggle
Give me just a little push
My parental burning bush
Life lite the snippet deluxe
Youtube the world gone amuck

Blind Pathos Poem
The world peeks at one another
Reaches out or maybe not
To a stranger or a brother
What is get and what is got
In our virtual melting pots
Everything is something like it
In all the places we’ve been
Across the fire we all sit
On the other side of a screen
Where we can’t be seen
Calling soft, cry or shout
There’s darkness out there
While the world is all about
In the cyber night beware
If it’s your soul you share
Once upon a time ago
We called from tenements
To bricks and windows
To ourselves in lost lament
As early proto blogs went
With a voice in the night
Drawing flies and crowds
The world just out of sight
Gave the night its lowly vows
“Really” laughing out loud

Blind Pathos Poem
A patch of data came my way
Time stamped from yesterday
Some bits suggest it is true
My mail insists that it is new
So what do I know
It is a letter to me and it has
A message for me from the past
It's subject has great appeal
But before I break the sacred seal
What do I know
Is it virus or is it trojan
How do I know where it's been
Am I on a salesman's list
Or has it been hacker kissed
What do I know
Despite the titles wit
I don't remember writing it
The moment of truth comes to call
I don't remember yesterday at all
So what do I know
Opening it I smiled as I read
Just remembering in my head
"From past me, I wanted to say
To the future me,... happy birthday"
What do you know

Blind Pathos Poem
(Refrain?)
Rats in a cage and around we go
Round and round we go
Keep your tail up
Keep your head down
Which ways up
And around we go
Three too many on the wheel
Too too long between meals
One step ahead of the frail
Some will eat their young
Some chew their tail
And some be carefully hung
Clear my eyes of what I know
Draw the truth in pleasing rows
From every cage there’s one
Who more than the rest
Lacks standard deviation
And his Kung Fu is best
Life accelerates as the cliffs heat
And for all the lemmings in bare feet
Truth may be just too close to call
What unravels one may unravel all
Being certain I'm no kind of bird
I'm drawn to the back of the herd

Blind Pathos Poem
From my window in the faces
As my bus drove other places
The graffiti prophet spoke
A gentle sermon in his joke
It’s not the questions, if you cry
It’s all the notions that are why
The passions of the moment pass
And so what’s left is so what lasts
Life flowed past the tinted window
Down a list of city noises groaned
Emptiness was my reflection there
And so to it my questions were
Speak some truth my public fool
Stand and make or break a rule
Share my head some ones and zeros
Show my heart romance and heroes
The river’s not too fast or so it seems
To stop the really mighty dreams
You don’t think the rivers wide
Till you need the other side
History shows in life’s attrition
Reality’s not just strong suspicion
So Plato’s light did come and fall
And throw the shadows on my wall
Rust and rot on gossamer wings
Dwarfs and Elves with magic rings
A smell of life a taste of time
Nine cents missing from my dime
Women bite and whiskey stings
All the bitters sweet can bring
500 channels in the sky
Showing us the vein’s run dry
Saw it through the chain link
Tween the crack and boards
Heard it on the radio
Tween the minor chords

Blind Pathos Poem
Where is that daunting monster
Boogie man in life’s shadow
Master mentor and concierge
Whose touch I’ve come to know
To you I’ll waste no breath
Beauty is not long and septic
My daunting docent of death
Midwife to misery, work quick
What small dignities remain
Strung of vomiting seconds
Cultures a pearl of great pain
To ferry a man of no direction
